If you're having trouble getting it down make sure that the scorpions are dead before you attempt it:
If you stand on the corner of the right torch Neheb will dash back in forth in front of you and not be able to hit you. He won't cast his poison / scarabs either.
Vod coming soon.
Before I started optimizing my routes (which I worked for years on) I asked to make sure that no stat duping was a category which I thought was clarified in another thread.
To clarify more by what I mean is a skip is that for their skill trees to represent their experience points on a ratio. For example, to be level 8 and have X amount of stat points it could be represented by XPneededfor8:X. For a lot of their runs, their leveling builds would require them to be upwards of level 30: http://www.titancalc.com/TitanCalc.asp?mastery=Haruspex&master1=7&master2=9&sa=0&m1=32-0-0-6-12-12-0-0-0-0-0-8-12-0-8-0-6-0-6-12-0&m2=1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
To separate these two categories I think is necessary, planning and routing went into both runs, and there was an overwhelming amount of decision making needed for each run. I think it's also unfair to compare these two categories and lump them all into one section, as it eliminates the possibilities of many other possible runs in the future if all that will be considered is stat duping as a category. I personally just don't speed run games to find the skips or glitches, I like to run them in categories that ignore these glitches or skips as it's what the developers or programmers intended of the game.
If someone were to find ways to walk through walls or to teleport out of bounds (there are some places you can) then they would be in the same category as a stat dupe run.
My take on it is this: By duping their stats they're not having to figure out a leveling route, so they're SKIPPING CONTENT and since it's a skip it would be a different category than a non stat dupe route or a NON SKIP ROUTE.
This wouldn't get it's own category in Any% AE? Like the different Zelda's have like no warps and a category for that.
What's the world record for glitchless AE edition?
4:06:34!
In game timer says that its 5 hours 34 minutes, but correct me if I'm wrong. Also, please let me know if this isn't the world record as I can't find any other runs of this aside from co op.
Is this a good time lmao? I can't tell, someone lemme know. First run I've completed though so I'm going to be tailoring a build similar to this next time.
I'm able to get to this guy around 5 hours into a run with an Earth + Nature build but I'm having issues doing any realistic amount of damage and don't want this portion to take 30+ minutes with Plague and Ring of Flame through a wall strats lol. Any tips on how to optimize this guy better?
Awesome, I'll continue to keep working on some glitchless runs then (:
Is there a category where you don't ramp your character through the stat glitches I've seen in the any% runs?
